[London : 1750 (or later)]. A large and handsome eighteenth century map of the county on a scale of five-eighths of an inch to the mile. Compiled by Emanuel Bowen, Geographer to George II, and originally produced for a series of maps separately sold from 1749 on and eventually published as "The Large English Atlas" (London 1760 and later editions). The particular charm of this series of maps resides in the numerous historical and geographical notes that fill up blank spaces and corners - with notes in this case on the medicinal springs of Dulwich, the manufacture of brass plates at Wandsworth, the river navigation from Guildford to London, etc. With a finely engraved dedication panel (to Lord Onslow) and a pastoral cartouche in the rococo style of the period.
Copper line engraving on paper. Original outline hand colour. Engraved surface 522 x 698mm (approx. 20-5/8" x 27-1/2"). Cropped close at margins, with some minor repair and remargining, but still a most attractive map. A guaranteed genuine antique map.
